The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that John Deere is recalling more than 164,000 Compact Utility Tractors. The tractors are being recalled because “the front bell crank in the brake linkage can fail causing the tractor to lose braking, resulting in a crash hazard.”
The recall includes about 147,900 tractors, in addition to about 16,800 sold in Canada. The model numbers are: 1023E, 1025R and 2025R
from John Deere:
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tractors and contact an authorized John Deere dealer to schedule an appointment to bring the tractor into the dealer for a free repair. If the consumer is not able to transport the tractor to a dealer’s location, then the dealer will make arrangements to repair the unit at the consumer’s residence. John Deere is contacting all known purchasers directly.
